| interrupted respiration | The inspiratory sound being broken into two or three by silent intervals. Synonym: interrupted respiration, jerky respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thoracic respiration | Respiration effected chiefly by the action of the intercostal and other muscles that raise the ribs, causing expansion of the chest. Synonym: costal respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tissue respiration | The interchange of gases between the blood and the tissues. Synonym: internal respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrophrenic respiration | The rhythmical electrical stimulation of the phrenic nerve by an electrode applied to the skin at the motor points of the phrenic nerve; it is used in paralysis of the respiratory centre resulting from acute bulbar poliomyelitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tubular respiration | High-pitched bronchial respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| jerky respiration | The inspiratory sound being broken into two or three by silent intervals. Synonym: interrupted respiration, jerky respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| external respiration | The exchange of respiratory gases in the lungs as distinguished from internal or tissue respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Kussmaul-Kien respiration | Deep, rapid respiration characteristic of diabetic or other causes of acidosis. Synonym: Kussmaul-Kien respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Kussmaul respiration | Deep, rapid respiration characteristic of diabetic or other causes of acidosis. Synonym: Kussmaul-Kien respiration. (05 Mar 2000) |
| laboured respiration | <chest medicine> Difficult, usually deep, breathing in patients with cardiac or pulmonary disease or disease affecting nervous system control of ventilation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| forced respiration | Voluntary hyperventilation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alternating light test | Test to detect a relative afferent defect in one eye by watching pupillary movements. With the patient fixing in the distance, the light is held on each eye for about a second, and quickly moved to the other eye. Assuming no defect of the innervation to the iris sphincter in one eye (which would produce an anisocoria in light), the eye with the weaker light response has a relative afferent pupillary defect. This asymmetry of pupillomotor input can be estimated by holding neutral density filters in front of the better eye until the pupillary responses of the two eyes are balanced. Synonym: swinging light test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Begg light wire differential force technique | An orthodontic appliance utilizing small gauge labial wires with expansion and contraction loops formed into it and attached to bands fitted to individual teeth; sometimes called Begg light wire differential force technique. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gene rearrangement, b-lymphocyte, light chain | Ordered rearrangement of b-lymphocyte variable gene regions coding for the kappa or lambda light chains, thereby contributing to antibody diversity. It occurs during the second stage of differentiation of the immature b-lymphocyte. (12 Dec 1998) |
